The voter guides of Conservative Christians and the Alabama Christian Coalition Voter Guides are often confused. In the days when John Giles headed up the Alabama Christian Coalition, the voter guides and stands on the issues of Conservative Christians was virtually identical. The national Christian Coalition and Pat Robertson have lost their creditability because of the weird stand have taken on many issues. For example, last year Pat Robertson endorsed liberal Rudy Guiliauni for President, which was a shock to the conservative community. Then there was the famous Billion Dollar Bob Tax Plan in Alabama. The National Director of the Christian Coalition, Roberta Combs, came to Alabama and held a press conference to endorse this massive tax increase. Roberta Combs called this tax increase the "Christian thing to do". This was so unusual that even the Wall Street Journal made comments about it. Many people felt that Pat Robertson and Roberta Combs had lost their creditability, and their were many rumors that they would say anything for money. As a consequence of the National Christian Coalition losing their creditability, the Alabama Christian Coalition broke away from their national ties and renamed themselves as Christian Action Alabama. Many other state affiliates also broke away from the national group as well. Today, national Christian Coalition is deep in debt, has closed their Washington office, and only has a web site to pretend that their are a national organization with very limited following.

When Alabama President John Giles and his group broke away from Pat Robertson and the national group, the national group appointed Dr. Randy Brinson of Montgomery to be the new state director of the Alabama Christian Coalition. Dr. Randy Brinson has proved that he is very much like Pat Robertson, as he also lacks creditability. Time and time again, Randy Brinson and his group have sided with liberal groups like the Alabama Education Association (AEA). Just a couple of years ago, Randy Brinson and his group sided with the AEA on a text book issue. All the other conservative groups on the state opposed this bill. Constantly conservative groups in the state like Eagle Forum, Alabama Constitution Party, Conservative Christians of Alabama, Alabama Republican Assembly, and Alabama Defenders are on the opposite side of issues from Randy Brinson. A classic example was a bill before the Alabama Legislature that was supported by Randy Brinson and also gambling groups. All the above mentioned groups opposed this bill.

Just recently, Randy Brinson has sided with liberal Dr. Parker Griffith in the remarks made by Dr. Griffith on radical Islam. Again, Randy Brinson is standing alone and on the other side of the fence from other conservative groups. Again Randy Brinson lacks creditability. The lack of principle which Randy Brinson operates and more details of Randy Brinson openly supporting gambling can be found at:
